Tonight at 8pm - "Summer Smash". An hour of beach-ready bobbins from @noiseboxradio.com's number one "Kiss Me Quick" hat owner Ben Baker, mixing clips of radio, TV, adverts and film from summers gone by, plus some of the most sun-kissed sounds this side of the local swimming baths.
With somewhat grim inevitability, my series of summer-themed mix shows is getting another outing at 8pm tonight and for the next four weeks. Sizzle, tan, render. noiseboxradio.com
This bitchy letter about the band Marseille in Sounds is made even funnier when you know who their lead guitarist and chief songwriter is. Try it yourself.
Tonight at 8pm I will be running head-first live at your internet radios. I hope you will tune in or who knows what will happen? Probably crime. @noiseboxradio.com
For completeness, this is the 1999 advert. Not sure whatever happened to that pub landlord bloke.
Alternative comedy is dead. Tommy Boyd lookalikes and whatever the piss that horror is meant to be will bring back variety! FOR REALS!
Possibly last chance to read through your favourite book before its tainted.

Just been reminded of this Muppetational nonsense I made several years ago. Although I like the other one where Animal says "wank" better.
Last night I played all this during my radio programme and I almost don't regret any of it! Find it on the Noisebox Radio Mixcloud or my Patreon now, along with everything else Ive done in the past decade or so. www.patreon.com/BenBaker2000
I mean, it always makes my day but I wouldn't use that phrasing personally...
"They didn’t promote it and buried it so nobody knew it was on..." A reminder as always that G*****s is a tedious, self-important blowhard who seems to have forgotten his co-writer entirely.
Good lord, imagine being desperate, bored and lunatic enough to write into Kerrang! in 1997. I hope all these people have seen sense and had themselves suffocated with a big pillow.
Celebrate 'International Kissing Day' the only true way - by taking out a court order against "Ben Baker Vs Monday", back tonight at 8pm LIVE on @noiseboxradio.com
Introducing the People's Princess on stage in Salford last night. Don't tell the social.
"How did you spend your Friday night. Ben?" "Preparing to go on a register..."
The good old days when the local video shops would advertise all the new releases, regardless of grot content. "Care Bears 2" or "The Sex O'Clock News"? Decisions decisions!
The good old days when an enterprising young chap could make a few quid from photos of a man kicking the fuck out of his neighbour.
